I just pulled off the 914 front suspension (more work than I thought, master cylinder had to come off) and I noticed the tie rods are quite different between what I took off, and what is going in its place.
Here's the 914 tie rod: (boot doesn't cover inner tie rod joint) Attached image(s)

Hehe. So with these tie rods, do I need to order new boots for a 930? (the boots are kinda wearing through in a few spots where it looks like it was rubbing on something) Maybe I'll just repair the boots with some silicone, unless they're really cheap.
